The Ultimate®

Description from Dutch Passion

The Ultimate delivers epic yields and a rich, complex aroma

The Ultimate is a balanced 50% Indica / 50% Sativa hybrid known for its impressive yields and robust growth. This strain is particularly suited for growers looking for a high-output plant that’s both forgiving and rewarding. The Ultimate is a medium-sized plant with massive, dense buds that can grow as thick as your forearm. Its aroma evolves during flowering, transitioning from spicy and pungent notes of pine, lemon, and gasoline to a more earthy and spicy scent in the dried flower. When broken apart, the buds release a more fruity and piney aroma that’s both intense and appealing.

Aroma and Flavor Profile

The Ultimate is known for its strong, pungent scent with notes of pine, lemon, and gasoline. As the plant progresses through its flowering phase, the aroma becomes increasingly spicy and pungent. In some phenotypes, a slightly more fruity and sweet scent may emerge. The final weeks of flowering bring a stronger smell that can be overpowering, so good carbon filters are recommended. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering a spicy, fruity, and somewhat skunky taste with occasional sweeter undertones.

Yield and Growth Characteristics

The Ultimate is one of the highest yielding cannabis strains available. It delivers massive blooms that are long and thick, filled with foxtails and orange hairs. The buds are rich in trichomes and have a beautiful appearance that many growers compare to classic old school Skunk varieties. This strain thrives under proper care and is known for its ability to produce dense blooms as long as your arm. It’s a light feeder that benefits from sufficient light and ideal growing conditions. During the flowering phase, the plant experiences a medium-to-high stretch, which typically lasts around three weeks after switching to a 12/12 light cycle. After this stretch, the buds begin to develop rapidly, with the final four weeks of flowering producing incredibly long and heavy colas.

Genetics and Cultivation

The Ultimate was carefully bred to combine high yield with professional quality. While the original parentage remains a closely guarded secret, it’s known to be similar to a strong, easy-to-grow Skunk variety. This strain is highly versatile, suitable for various growing methods and mediums. Its buds often have a Sativa-like appearance but develop into much fuller and thicker structures than typical Sativa strains. The Ultimate is a favorite among growers due to its tolerance for temperature and nutrient fluctuations, making it ideal even for beginners. However, maintaining low humidity (<50%) during the flowering phase is crucial to prevent mold and bud rot.

Effects of The Ultimate

The Ultimate delivers a strong, potent high that hits quickly and lasts for an extended period. It’s known for its intensity, which can become more pronounced with each hit. For those new to cannabis or with a lower tolerance, it’s advisable to take breaks between puffs to fully experience the effects. Many users report feeling a powerful wave of relaxation and euphoria, making it a popular choice for both recreational and medicinal use.
